Editing Solipsis (section)

==Current status==
Solipsis currently consists of:
*A peer-to-peer protocol over [[User Datagram Protocol|UDP]].  The Solipsis protocol gives a node the ability to broadcast its presence within the virtual world.  Moreover, this protocol aims to guarantee the maintenance of some global properties.
*A node-navigator interface, which takes the form of an [[application programming interface|API]] between the node and the navigator.  Currently written in [[XML-RPC]], this interface allows a navigator to control a node and to retrieve information on its virtual surroundings.
*A basic implementation of a Solipsis node and a Solipsis navigator licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|LGPL]]. The navigator features a two-dimensional representation of the virtual world.  The design of current interface resembles [[YackPack]], an interactive system developed by the company of the same name, by a team of engineers in Santa Rosa, led by Chief Technology Officer David Levine and envisioned by Professor BJ Fogg of [[Stanford University]].  Interaction between entities consists only of [[online chat|chat]].
*Some other services, which implement [[blog]]s, some identity fields for [[social networking]], [[file sharing]], and graphical chat.
